It's time to put on weight to get ready to competing next spring/summer. I'd like to get to roughly 200 or more at the end of these 7 or 8 weeks. I'm currently sitting at around 180. Was out of the country for 2 weeks so dropped a few lbs due to random eating and zero lifting. 20 lbs in 2 months with solid dieting should not be an issue.

I will be running a SD to EPI bridge. I've run SD before for 4 weeks and had a great run. I increased my natural bodyweight by about 8 lbs, which is amazing. I've kept roughly 12 or so lbs from that run. I have never run EPI before, so i don't really know what to expect outside of the anecdotal. The run should look like this:

SD: 20/20/30/30
EPI: 0/ 0/ 0/ 30/30/40/40
DHEA: M1-D Black, 8 caps daily



PCT: Nolva @ 20mg/4 weeks, DAA 4-6 weeks, Reduce XT 4 weeks

I'm not 100% on the dosages, and will probably play with them at around the 3rd week of SD. Here are the support supps being run:

SNS Liver Assist XT (Cycle + PCT), SP Citrulline Malate (pre workout), Primaforce Agmatine (morning and pre workout), SP Tyrosine (daily), ALCAR (daily).




Staples:

Controlled Labs Orange Triad (6 tabs daily), Controlled Labs Orange OxiMega (2g + EPA/DHA daily), Controlled Labs Green Bulge (daily creatine), Forged Joint Support (daily/when needed), AI RecoverPro (daily).



Proteins: I love XF whey and UP 2.0, i typically rotate through different flavors and i'm currently working through this tub of Chocolate. Next i think will be UP 2.0 Strawberry. I've always been a fan of CytoSport's flavoring. I picked up these Monster Milk's very cheap, and i'm super happy, they taste great.

This looks like a fun ride...In for this one brotha!!!!

[Rhadam]

I've had another semi-log on AM, but in the end it got a bit crazy due to life and a couple injuries. I hope to dominate this log and get in as many updates as i can. I'll be logging every workout so i can really see just how much the weights go up. I'm very thankful for any bros and reps that come along. I don't think i've seen any SD/EPI logs so this should be interesting.

I have another package or 2 to come in, the Reduce XT and DAA still have to come in and i have a couple more AI products to get in that i may or may not add.

Heheh, this looks like to be one mean ride. Cant wait man. Hows the diet gonna look on this bulking beast?

[Rhadam]

Diet is going to be sort of cyclical. My current maintenance is 3k cals. I plan on getting as close to 4k cals as i can Monday-Friday, and then on Saturday/Sunday i will cut back and eat at maintenance or 1-200 cals above. Saturday/Sunday will be abdominal + cardio days. During the week i will do light cardio and probably no abdominal work. This should help pack on plenty of weight with a 1k surplus 5 days out of the week and yet still hopefully keep the excess fat in check through 2 days of caloric maintenance + increased activity.

Obviously i'm prepared for fat weight as i'm shooting for 20 or more pounds in 8 weeks. I'm pretty confident in my nutritional knowledge, but it's never been put quite to this big of test. Mainly for me it will be a dedication issue. I've always had trouble in the past to eat enough, and now it's time to prove to myself that i've made progress.

Nice! Looks like it's gonna be some mean gains!

From a couple SD to Phera bridges I did awhile back.....Superdrol sure does love carbs it seems!! I also was doing a 5x5 strength routine, so I got really good strength gains, but not the mass I expected....so if that's what you're after make sure you're doing a mass routine...good luck!!

[mw1]

Definitely in for this one!!!!

[AaronJP1]

Didn't even invite me to this party...
Crashed it..

[Rhadam]

Well i figured most of the guys that i want to come along would see this posted

So i'm not going to make it to the gym, too much to do around the house and i have to referee tonight. Will be sticking to maintenance level cals. Today i'm only taking 20mg SD and 8 pills of M1-D Black. I've also been off creatine for 2 weeks, so will be starting Green Bulge again tomorrow before my workout.

[houstontexas]

In for this ride. Looks like it should be a lot of fun.

[Rhadam]

Hopefully the last couple packages get here soon. PCT is going to be powered (sponsored) by SNS. Owe them another favor haha. I'm excited to try Reduce XT! Also waiting on some R-Ala from AI. Will be another nice antioxidant to start using.

Can't wait to head to the gym today, ready to kill the weights. I'm getting anxious for the SD to kick in already!

[Daycrawler]

In.

[JoHNnyNuTZ]

I hope that Sd made it to your system and you bent a barbell in in half. just sayin...that'd be pretty cool!!!

[GHO5T]

will this stuff give you bigger gainz than tribulus?

[JoHNnyNuTZ]

will this stuff give you bigger gainz than tribulus?

Does anything???????

[Rhadam]

will this stuff give you bigger gainz than tribulus?

Probably not, but my source was all out of Trib, so i had to settle for this.

I hope you'll still follow the log even though it'll be weak gains.

What's your lifting routine looking like?

I use to like Monster Milk but I can't take it anymore...

Only stuff I actually enjoy is sport pharma whey in chocolate and up your mass... Taste good.

[Rhadam]

What's your lifting routine looking like?

I run a version of Layne Norton's PHAT (Power Hypertrophy Adaptive Training) routine. Information on this routine can be found here:
http://www.simplyshredded.com/mega-f...ated-2011.html


Once i start posting training days this next week you'll be able to see how i work my split. I'm quite happy with the routine, and it shines while on cycle. Since you hit every muscle group twice, once for strength and once for hypertrophy you can can achieve some amazing gains. Being on cycle and reaping the advantages of increased strength/endurance/recovery you can destroy this routine.

I get some Muscle Milk/Monster Milk about every 6 or so months to switch things up from XF. I've never been let down with any of their flavors, and you can find some pretty good deals here and there. The monster milk i got buy 1 get 1 free.

[AaronJP1]

Yeah R I was on a upper twice a week and lower twice a week... It was about 2-3 sets for each group that day.
Seems to be a lot of work for me. I tried it to help get the most out of my cycle. I'll probably just switch back to a normal routine 1 muscle group a week and just bust my butt at that, I'm sure being on cycle I would get growth either way. I may throw in some Pull-ups/push-ups & dips maybe throw some of that in at the house....

Sub'ed!

Day 4 SD: Upper Body Power Weight: 184 (+3)

Ok so all my workouts get updated the day after, as i typically lift before work (bartender). I get home around 3am, get to sleep around 4am typically. Fukin sux and is borderline wrecking my metabolism haha. But, such is life. I weighted in at 184.0, which is a gain of 3 lbs. Some of that is obviously water weight and simply getting back to my normal baseline of around 183-184. Yesterday's workout was fantastic, walked in to the gym focused and ready to kill it. Could have done a bit more, but this is what i had to work with as i'm still getting back in to gear from being away from the gym for a few weeks. As per the PHAT theory, max effort days are 85% of your 1 rep max.

Not too bad, i expect next week's power workout i'll be able to increase all these lifts by 5 or 10 lbs. None are at all close to previous PRs. By week 3 i hope to be setting new PRs. The past few days i was experiencing some stomach discomfort about 20 minutes in to my workout, i attribute that to the new inclusion of a few products: Citrulline Malate, powdered Agmatine, ALCAR, and Tyrosine. Yesterday i felt nothing, except for some great concentration and endurance. As far as PH sides, let it be said once again: SUPERDROL LOVES CARBS. Muscle fullness is up after 3 days. Libido is up, which is either a good thing or a bad thing for working in a bar haha.

Today is a power leg day, and my numbers will be pretty low as i've not done a lot of leg work in the past. I've only been seriously lifting for roughly 2 years, and 1.5 years i didn't touch legs. So i guess you can say i've only been seriously lifting for a few months

[AaronJP1]

Gotcha now destroy the legs

[JoHNnyNuTZ]

Whoa that workout looks friggin Sweet!!!!!

[Rhadam]

Gotcha now destroy the legs

Oh u know it. ATG Squats and Romanian Deads here i come!

Whoa that workout looks friggin Sweet!!!!!

Ya it's rough to start, but once you get going you can power through them. I remember starting out i NEVER had energy for the arms portion, now i roll right through em. Stay tuned, the Hypertrophy workouts are KILLER.

[JoHNnyNuTZ]

Def. gonna pay close attention to your routine and your numbers. Curious as to see how well you do!!!
